Going into damage-control mode, their families and handlers force the two rivals into a staged ‘truce.’ But as Alex and Henry’s icy relationship unexpectedly begins to thaw into a tentative friendship, the friction that existed between them sparks something deeper than they ever expected.”The movie adaptation of the much-loved novel will also feature Sarah Shahi and Stephen Fry.The movie poster shows the legs of two men crossed over one another.
One wears Union Jack socks and the other has Stars and Stripes socks.Red, White & Royal Blue marks the directorial debut of Matthew López, the Tony Award-winning playwright for The Inheritance.
